ARTISTS BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 5, 1906.

Application filed September 28, 1905. Serial No. 280,420.

To ail whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, RosA WEBER, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, and a resident of Fort Wayne, in the county of Allen and Stateof Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ArtistsBottles, of Which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in artists bottles for use inholding liquid for making water-color sketches and is intendedparticularly for outdoor use.

The object of the improvement is to provide a convenient receptacle forliquid which will be self-supported in a convenient position withoutdanger of becoming upset, and also to so construct the supporting devicethat it may be readily folded, so as to render the device compact andmore conveniently portable. These objects are accomplished by theconstruction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1is a side elevation of the device in folded position. Fig. 2 is asimilar view of the device with the support in extended position, as inuse. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the device in folded position and in aplane at right angles to that of Fi 1.

Similar characters of re erence indicate corresponding parts throughoutthe several views.

1 is a bottle made of suitable material, such as glass or metal, and isprovided with a screw-cover 2 at its top. Aplate 3 is attached to theexterior of the bottle upon its side at the lower portion thereof, and astud 4 extends horizontally from the lower end of the plate. To the stud4 is attached a folding support A, which is composed of sections 5, 6,and 7, respectively, the free end of the latter section being pointedsuitably for insertion into the ground. One end of the section 5 ismounted upon the stud 4 above mentioned, and the section 6 is similarlyattached to a stud 8, which projects from the other end of said section5, and the section 7 is attached at one of its ends to a stud 9, whichprojects from the corresponding end of the section 6. Thumb-nuts 10, 11,and 12 are mounted, respectively, upon the corresponding studs 4, 8, and9 and serve to hold said sections in proper adjusted relation with thebottle and with each other. The screwcover 2 has a chain 18 pivoted toits top, and the other end of the chain is secured to the bottle at apoint approximately at the top of the plate 3, the chain serving toprevent the cover from becoming lost or misplaced.

In using this invention the support A is extended, as shown in Fig 2,and the thumbnuts are tightened to render the sections and bottle rigidrelative to one another. The pointed end of the section 7 of the supportis then inserted into the ground, and the bottle will therebybe held bythe support at a convenient height suitable for" the artists use. Bymaking the support in folding sections the device is thereby renderedmore conveniently portable, as it may then be carried in thecoat-pocket, or the chain may be used as a bail for carrying the devicein the hand.

I-Iaving described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a device of the class described, a suitable receptacle for liquid,having a detachable cover; a plate in fixed relation with the rece tacleexternally of its side at the lower portion thereof a folding supportpivotally attached at the'lower end of the plate; and means for securingthe sections of said support in rigid relation with the bottle and witheach other.

, 2. In a device of the class described, a suitable receptacle forliquid, having a detachable cover; a support composed of foldingsections, each having pivotal connection at the end of the adjacentsection, and the su port having also pivotal connection with t ereceptacle; and means for securing said sections in rigid relation withthe receptacle and with each other.

3. In a device of the class described, a suitable receptacle for liquidhaving a removable cover; a chain connecting said cover loosely with thereceptacle a support composed of folding sections and having foldingrelation with the receptacle; and means for securing said sections 111rigid relation with the receptacle and with each other.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of tWo Witnesses.
